Camino Francés Day 11: Grañón - Tosantos
I left Grañón with my Camino family, heading to another donativo in Tosantos. We wanted to see the church built into the cliffside. Today's walk was shorter than the past few days, which was a nice change. We had fun along the way, stopping at playgrounds, petting animals, and taking coffee breaks.
We arrived at the donativo around noon and were surprised to see our friend Paolo from Italy there! After check-in, we were shown to the sleeping area, which was quite cold, but blankets were available. At 5 PM, we joined a guided visit to the cliffside church. The town guide shared its history before unlocking the massive front door. Inside, the intricate details were stunning.
As with all donativos, we helped prepare and clean up dinner. During the meal, the town priest joined us, making for a unique and memorable experience.
